Autoimmunity often flies under the radar. Many of my patients come in unaware, but the picture becomes clear once we dive into their medical stories. There's a common thread of frustration: mainstream medical tests aren't cutting it. They rely on outdated methods that need revising, offering a simple yes or no answer when the reality is far more complex.
Understanding Autoimmunity: Beyond the Obvious Symptoms
But here's what you need to grasp: autoimmunity doesn’t always wave a red flag. The aches or the exhaustion you brush off as 'just getting older' or 'too much exercise'? They may be more than everyday wear and tear. If fatigue hits you like a brick wall, and no amount of rest shakes it off, it's time to listen up. That's not your usual tiredness. It's deeper, more challenging, and linked to a confused immune system turning against your body. Brain fog, hormone imbalances, and stubborn weight are the sneakier faces of autoimmunity.
The Predictive Power of Functional Blood Chemistry
This is where my approach stands out. With functional blood chemistry analysis, we're not just playing defense; we're forecasting health. It's about spotting disease before it starts, like glimpsing the future and deciding to rewrite it. I don't just check a box; I connect dots between various markers to map out what's brewing beneath the surface.
Uncovering Hidden Triggers: The Role of Food Sensitivities
What's crucial here is eliminating any element that throws your body off balance. Take the food sensitivity tests I conduct, for example. You might think, "It's just chicken or a dash of oregano—how could that hurt?" But if your body's mistaking these foods for invaders, it’s an all-out immune response that can prime your body for autoimmunity if ignored.
The Path to Healing: Rebalancing Your Immune System
This isn't just about avoiding certain foods; it's about recalibrating your immune system to recognize the good from the bad. Healing is possible. With time, your body can recover, achieving a more resilient state.
